Fatdog64-600 Final and 601 (July 2012)
Fatdog64-600 Final (July 2012)
Thanks very much to kirk and jamesbond for this amazing distro!
I'm still using the rc but will upgrade, I'm running my remaster on a
fast 4gb flash drive with a 1gb savefile, no problems

Just downloaded the new distro and so far it's working great except for one thing (please excuse my noobness)...
Can anyone tell me how to open a file from firefox in fatdog64-600? I have read the manual and faqs and spent a few hours trying to figure it out. I tried the spot thing suggested, didn't work, I also tried changing the config file from firefox -spot to just firefox with the exec parameter, that doesn't work for me either. Other programs seem to load files from my data drive (internal) on my laptop, but not ff.
I have just burnt a live cd and loaded that so not using any sfs or save files yet. All I want to do is to read the file, I'm not trying to write anything and I put it in the suggested location for spot and copied it to the desktop, so I know it's there, but it won't give me permission to read, when I use the open file command from the ff menu.
I don't know what else to do or where else to look for information, so if someone would be kind enough to point me in the right direction, I'll go and spend another few hours trying to figure it out. Is it really this difficult?
Also the forum did not remember my change of password and blocked me out for half an hour. So I've spent about four hours just trying to upload some files to you and log in to the forum.
Anyway, you FatDog64 users, hope you like the wallpapers I made, and thanks to the chaps for taking the time to do the distro.
I'm a little bit frustrated to say the least, so apologies if I sound a bit cranky, but it's been a long session and the last thing I needed was having to reboot back into windows (where I had just rebooted from into FatDog, coz that's where I did the graphics).
And sorry if I posted things in the wrong section, feel free to move, now I'm going to catch some sleep.
Anyway, this was just my way of saying thanks for the new distro - enjoy!
I've got a few more that I'm working on, so if people like them, who knows, I may upload some more .
Cheers.

2 quick questions
Has anyone attempted the older virtualbox build script found here in 600Final?
And has anyone build the latest truecrypt (7.1a) for any of the recent FT Betas or RCs?

Ruff-Boy maybe one need to mount that drive that the file is on.
And even add it as a file for Firefox to open in case that is not obvious?
I apologize if I have misunderstood what you talk about.
As JameBond indicate in his answer above maybe try
to describe where you are at that moment and what you click on?
My experience is that sometimes one need to do mount first.
Either using menu Files and Mount or using the Terminal some
CLI code that do such mounting,
If this "All I want to do is to read the file" is how you boot then
one most likely has to mount the partition that the file is on.
Or maybe even move the file to the spot directory?
Haha it took me some 30 minutes to find my old post from June 15 about it.
Is this what you talk about?
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 442#634442
that could be loaded in the Browser and the only way to do it where
to move it from / or /mnt/home to /spot
If I talk about something entirely other you have to describe it in other
words so somebody get what it is all about

I had a html file on my HD that I wanted to use as a bookmark pageThe easier way for me where to move my html file from home to spot!
that could be loaded in the Browser and the only way to do it where
to move it from / or /mnt/home to /spot

So that could explain why you could not use that file. Or none of us get what you talk about?Quote:

that simplified html file that I use as my "home page"
lies on my sda2 file and have tested it on some 25 different
OS and many many puppies and only fatdog with this SM
failed to read it. So that where odd.
JameBond says:
Fatdog runs the browser as spot. Spot does not have access to your sda2
(by design). If you don't like this, edit /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser and change "seamonkey-spot" to just "seamonkey".
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

I have the same problem. I cannot import the bookmark.html file to firefox even the file has been copied to the directory /root/spot/. I also cannot open the bookmark.html file from the menu:file/open file/.nooby wrote:Ruff-Boy maybe one need to mount that drive that the file is on.

Is there any other methods to import the bookmark file to firefox?
Because Firefox is running as the user spot, you must make your bookmarks file owned by spot.winwin wrote:I have the same problem.

I also cannot open the bookmark.html file from the menu:file/open file/.Is there any other methods to import the bookmark file to firefox?
Code: Select all
chown spot:spot bookmarks.html
I had better results saving my bookmarks as a json file, then using Restore instead of Import.
(a) How should I do that?rcrsn51 wrote:I had better results saving my bookmarks as a json file, then using Restore...
I don't know how to import bookmarks using html file, or restore either.
I have a bookmarks-2012-06-03.json backup file.
(b) I had "Firefox sync" in use, but lost the "Recovery key" for my sync account...
[Old PC hardware failed, and don't have a recent backup of my password vault, that includes the Firefox sync Recovey key].
Kirk thanks
I guess the FAQ tells it or you have told us in other posts?
This
then it is only on the HD and not in savefile?
Thanks to rcrsn51 for explaining the cown thing. Not that I can use it
I am not that clever but that where what I thought that Ruff-Boy needs to know.

Does that goes into the savefile then? While if I have such files on /mnt-systemOr you can put your bookmarks file in the Downloads folder
then it is only on the HD and not in savefile?

ThanksI Follow your instructions, I can restore the bookmark file.rcrsn51 wrote:Use the same procedure.Sylvander wrote:(a) How should I do that?
I have a bookmarks-2012-06-03.json backup file
1. Copy the .json file into /root/spot.
2. Run: chown spot:spot bookmarks-2012-06-03.json
3. In Firefox, go to Bookmarks > Show all Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Restore > Choose File

I had three lockups last night when using FD64-600, seamonkey version. It didn't actually stop working but it did slow down so much that it almost did. It also looked like it was driving the processor pretty hard too.
I think I may have been using seamonkey each time this happened. I have placed all of my profile files outside on /mnt/home/profiles/sm210 then created another profile in seamonkey to access them. Might this be the problem?
I'm not into this spot thing, I'm a root man that's why I use Puppy. I run as root and run seamonkey as /usr/bin/seamonkey not /usr/bin/seamonkey-spot
Edit: It appears it may be my new 3TB USB HDD. It doesn't seem to have the same problem with Saluki 012. It's a NTFS drive. Ctrl+Backspace and a restart of xwin cures the problem for a while, anyway. Any ideas?
Bugger, this is a show stopper.
